Torsion Keys for lift
I installed a 3" block lift on the rear of my 2005 Dodge 1500 4x4 and tourqued my torsion keys all the way up but still is not level. Was looking into getting new torsion keys for a 3" lift but can someone tell me what would be the difference between what already is on the truck and the ones that say are for a 3" lift? Also after lifting the truck my shocks are maxed out in length, what can I do to bring them back down to the middle. Do I use a longer shock or is there a shock extender for the rear lift. I guess also would go for the front as they are also maxed out. Thank you

Honestly, there is no way to get a cheap lift. Cranking the torsions are only good too level a stock truck. Even then, going over 2.5" will start ripping cv boots. I've done it and lowered it back down to 2". Torsion keys Are only going to make the problem worse. Your best bet would be remove the rear blocks and crank the torsions to level the truck a little bit. Or leave the rear blocks and somehow find the front end of a 5" lift kit.

If your bars are cranked all the way up then your already putting too much wear and tear on your front suspension. Sure you might get an extra inch or two out of torsion keys but I would NOT recomend doing that, I wouldnt even recommend cranking them up as much as they already are. Your cv shafts are gonna hate you.
